Fundamental research of X-ray absorption imaging for elemental identification using a secondary target

Nakae, Masanori*; Matsuyama, Tsugufumi*; Murakami, Masashi; Yoshida, Yukihiko; Machida, Masahiko; Tsuji, Koichi*

Advances in X-Ray Chemical Analysis, Japan, 54, p.89 - 99, 2023/03

Fundamental research on X-ray absorption imaging for elemental identification was studied. A secondary target was applied to obtain X-ray absorption images above and below the X-ray absorption edge of the target element. X-rays from an X-ray tube were irradiated to the secondary target, where the characteristic X-rays were emitted that were irradiated to the sample. X-ray absorption images were acquired with an exposure time of a few seconds with an X-ray camera. In this technique, it is difficult to change the energy of X-rays as we want, however we can apply this technique for imaging the specific element. Metal foil sample composed of Al, Cu, and Ni was analyzed. To obtain an X-ray elemental image of Ni, two X-ray absorption images were taken using the X-rays above and below the Ni K-edge. X-rays of Cu K$$alpha$$ and Zn K$$alpha$$ were prepared by using Cu and Zn plates as the secondary target. Finally, the Ni elemental image was obtained by subtracting two images. Furthermore, the X-ray camera had a function of setting critical energies for imaging, thus it was demonstrated that an X-ray elemental image of Ni was obtained using a single secondary target without changing the secondary target.

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is an analytical method to obtain elemental information by detecting fluorescence X-rays emitted from a sample irradiated with X-rays. It is possible to obtain two-dimensional elemental distribution images by scanning a sample with micro X-ray beam. In this study, we developed an XRF analytical instrument to rapidly obtain the elemental distributions for moving samples on a belt conveyor by applying the micro XRF technique. X-rays were widely irradiated to the belt conveyor. The elemental distributions were measured by scanning an X-ray detector, crossing above the belt conveyor. A collimator was attached to the top of the detector to limit the analyzing area. Both detection limit and spatial resolutions for moving directions of the detector and the belt conveyor were evaluated. Finally, it was demonstrated that the multi-elemental imaging was possible with the developed XRF instrument.

Radioactive wastes generated from R&D activities have been stored in Japan Atomic Energy Agency. In order to reduce the risk of taking long time to process legacy wastes, countermeasures for acceleration of waste processing and disposal were studied. Work analysis of waste processing showed bottleneck processes, such as evaluation of radioactivity concentration, segregation of hazardous and combustibles materials. Concerning evaluation of radioactivity concentration, a radiological characterization method using a scaling factor and a nondestructive gamma-ray measurement should be developed. The number of radionuclides that are to be selected for the safety assessment of the trench type disposal facility can decrease using artificial barriers. Hazardous materials, will be identified using records and nondestructive inspection. The waste identified as hazardous will be unpacked and segregated. Preliminary calculations of waste acceptance criteria of hazardous material concentrations were conducted based on environmental standards in groundwater. The total volume of the combustibles will be evaluated using nondestructive inspection. The waste that does not comply with the waste acceptance criteria should be mixed with low combustible material waste such as dismantling concrete waste in order to satisfy the waste acceptance criteria on a disposal facility average. It was estimated that segregation throughput of compressed waste should be increased about 5 times more than conventional method by applying the countermeasures. Further study and technology development will be conducted to realize the plan.

Local disorder in proton conductor BaSn$$_{0.5}$$In$$_{0.5}$$O$$_{2.75}$$ analyzed by neutron diffraction/ atomic pair distribution function

Igawa, Naoki; Kodama, Katsuaki; Taguchi, Tomitsugu*; Yoshida, Yukihiko*; Matsukawa, Takeshi*; Hoshikawa, Akinori*; Ishigaki, Toru*

Transactions of the Materials Research Society of Japan, 43(6), p.329 - 332, 2018/12

For the understanding of the crystal structural effect on the electrical properties, the local disorder in BaSn$$_{0.5}$$In$$_{0.5}$$O$$_{2.75}$$ which is one of the excellent proton conductors for solid oxide fuel cells was estimated by using the Atomic Pair Distribution Function (PDF) analysis method with the neutron diffraction. The local structure is almost the same as the average structure which was estimated by the Rietveld analysis using the cubic crystal structure (space group, $${it Pm}$$$$overline{3}$$$${it m}$$) in the atomic distance range of ${it r}$ $$>$$ 6${AA}$. The PDF profile was fitted better using the tetragonal crystal structure with the space group of ${it P}$4/${it mmm}$ than those with $${it Pm}$$$$overline{3}$$$${it m}$$ in the range ${it r}$ $$<$$ 6${AA}$. Those results indicate the presence of the local disorder in the lattice. In this work, the relationship between the average and local structures of BaSn$$_{0.5}$$In$$_{0.5}$$O$$_{2.75}$$ will be discussed.

no journal, , 

The powder neutron crystal structure analysis and measurements of the magnetization and the specific heat have been carried out for the honeycomb lattice spin system Li$$_{3}$$Ni$$_{2}$$SbO$$_{6}$$. From the Rietveld analysis of the neutron diffraction data, we determined the crystal structure of Li$$_{3}$$Ni$$_{2}$$SbO$$_{6}$$, where the space group is ${it C}$ 2/${it m}$ monoclinic and the distortion from ideal honeycomb lattice is $$sim$$0.1 % only. The Weiss temperature $$theta_mathrm{w}$$ obtained from the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility is 12.2 K, indicating that dominant interaction between the Ni$$^{2+}$$ spins is ferromagnetic one. However, from the behavior of the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat, Li$$_{3}$$Ni$$_{2}$$SbO$$_{6}$$ is found to exhibit an antiferromagnetic transition at $$T_mathrm{N}$$ = 13.5 K.

We have measured the specific heat and magnetization up to 50 T of polycrystalline samples of RCrTiO$$_{5}$$ (R=Pr, Nd, Eu, Sm and Gd) and also carried out powder neutron diffraction experiments of NdCrTiO$$_{5}$$ and Nd$$_{0.5}$$Pr$$_{0.5}$$CrTiO$$_{5}$$. From the analyses of specific heat data and magnetization curves up to 50 T of the systems, we have evaluated the magnetic interactions between the Cr$$^{3+}$$ - Cr$$^{3+}$$ magnetic moments and between the Cr$$^{3+}$$ -R$$^{3+}$$ ones. The temperature dependence of neutron magnetic reflection intensities of NdCrTiO$$_{5}$$ indicate that both the Cr$$^{3+}$$-moments and the Nd$$^{3+}$$-moments simultaneously order at $$T_mathrm{N}$$. Basis of the obtained magnetic behavior, the mechanism of magnetoelectric effect of RCrTiO$$_{5}$$ will be discussed.

no journal, , 

Applications of AI for waste processing are widely considered from the rational viewpoints at JAEA. One useful plan is the application of AI to waste segregation in waste pretreatment. In waste segregating process, there are problems such as high cost of waste segregation, large amount of work, and possibility of worker exposure. The AI solutions of these problems can be expected from the remarkable progress of AI recognition techniques in recent years. In this presentation, we report the application results of AI for object recognition of waste by image.

X-ray absorption imaging is a technique in which samples are irradiated with X-rays and the transmitted X-rays are detected by an X-ray camera. Although this method is non-destructive and fast, X-ray cameras generally do not have energy resolution and cannot identify elements. Recently, an X-ray imaging method has been reported to use synchrotron radiation to image the elemental distribution using X-rays with energy around the absorption edge, and analyze the difference between the images. However, it is difficult to change the energy of X-rays in a laboratory. In this study, we studied the method for visualization of only the target element even in the laboratory by using a secondary target and an X-ray filter.
